Which Tunze is better?

Hey everyone, I'm plan on using tunze for my water movement in the 120 gal tank. My question is what do you think is better:

Tunze wave box ~$550 (Is the controller included?)
Tunze TS 40 (2 6201s & multi controller) ~ $1,300

All comments appreciated!

The 2 6201s will give you around 85x turn-over by itself, which is REALLY high IMO. Unless your going for a bare bottom SPS tank you may want to re-think the 6201s.

eh, im at 96x flow with a DSB and im sure i could add more.

i personally would go with the ts40. im not a fan of the wave boxs, though.

Interesting, I have a pair of 6100s in my 180 and if I leave them at full throttle the sand never rests; even at the pulse setting I have them on now they have to be aimed at the surface.

my sand did move at first. not like a sand storm, but it sorta flattened out in some parts and built up in others, sorta like a sand bar. doesnt bother me though. it happened behind the rock work for the most part, which is where my pistol shrimp is moving stuff around constantly anyway.

The controller is included with the wavebox. i have a wavebox in my tank and i love it, but you will need some linear flow also.
